Irreplaceable

Ok this will really blow yall's minds. This is another school story I am afraid. So just hang in there.

This story is about Sub number three. Her name is Ms. Sams as I am sure you know. Shes the one I like to call Mrs. Kindergarten because she says boys and girls a lot and she treats us like babies. Shes the worst sub anyone could ask for. But I have learned to grin and bear it, until now -this is not even funny.

When Sub number two was here we made country report posters on trifolds or posterboards. So me and my friend Ashley made an awesome poster on Sweden. It took us over four hours to get everything right. We even matted everything on Card Stock that my mom gave us and added a packet of Swedish Fish'n friends to our poster to add some pizzaz. But my other friend Alyson made this AWESOME poster on Uganda. You see, her brother went to Africa on his Mission ( I know, I know, I live in a place where that is not uncommon, Utah)And so she had a little rug thing on it, a doll made out of banana fibers, and some little pottery things. Everything on her poster was from Uganda that her mom let her use.

So of course naturally Ms. Sams as to ruin everything. She didn't even tell us she wa going to do this. So yesterday Ms. Sams said " Boys and girls! I noticed that there was a bunch of posters over here and I decided to throw them away. If you wanted your posters oh well that's too bad unless you want to go Dumpster Diving. I took the Liberty to throw them out." What the Heck was she thinking!!! She didn't even tell us that she was going to throw them away! She didn't even give us the chance to get our posters back from her! But then I remembered Alysons poster. All those things that were on it! So then Alyson yelled out " Ms. Sams! My moms gonna KILL me because of that! Can I go get it right now please?" And of course Ms. Sams being the toot she is says this " No you may NOT Alyson. Its your fault you didn't get it sooner. If you want your poster you will have to get it during the 5 minute break." Ok so as if 5 minutes if barely enough to get to our other classes she makes her wait to see if her poster is ruined and make her late to another class. Boy doesn't she really care about her students.

Luckily for me Alyson is in my 4th period class also. So I could find out what happened to her poster. She came in a couple minutes latter. Not a good sign. She was crying soooo hard. And exclaimed " It's ALL ruined every last thing on that poster. RUINED!!! My moms gonna kill me! Everything is broken!" I have never felt so bad for someone than I did at that moment. She had an awesome poster, and not it was diminished into a pile of rubble.

Ms. Sams gave Alyson a note for her parents that said-

I am very sorry for what happened to Alysons poster. I know the items were Irreplaceable.

Boy was that heart felt. Those Items were Irreplaceable, she'll never get them back thanks to one persons acts. The least she could have done was tell us she was going to throw them away, so we could have the chance to get them. I am not so mad about my poster, even though I did spend 4 hours on that puppy. But I felt really bad for Alyson.Those items meant lot to her.

Thanks Ms. Sams, We love you too.

That makes ME angry and those weren't even my things! I think that was very irresponsible of your sub. I hope your friends parents had a nice long chat with her.
